2. [25%] A concrete shear wall is subjected to a uniform vertical load W and a horizontal earthquake force H. The stresses due to these loads at point C on the wall surface have the values shown (1,000 psi compressive stress and 500 shear stress). (i) Find the principal stresses and show them on a sketch of a properly oriented element (ii) Find the maximum shear stresses and associated normal stresses and show them on a sketch of a properly oriented element W - H 1,000 psi C ↑ 1,000 psi 500 psi 500 psi
